Trish could snap Lady like a twig if she really wanted to. That's your opinon, DMC anime and DMC 5 indicates that they're roughly equal. If you watch the fight from the anime, Trish is heavy-breathing before Dante stops it.

Surprise attack or not, characters without superhuman strength are not able harm Dante. They are capable of harming him. Bullet from Lady's gun in DMC 3 managed to deal a bit of damage to him... even caused a small bleeding. This scene https://youtu.be/2MPPLrePwBU?t=1700

After she took cover from the motorcycle she ended the fight. It was also not her objective at time to take Dante out, so she didnt engage in a full on fight. No, after the motorcycle exploded Trish landed on the ground and Dante pointed his gun at her and was ready to shoot. She stood not a chance in that moment. She was not in right position to fight or do anything. It was literally over for her.

Something like 5 Hell Prides took Dante in a sneak attack and he shrugged it off, and kicked their butts with their own weapons while the were still impaled in his body. This didnt happen when Trish hit him with her lightning. Of course Hell Prides are lesser demons that arent capable of dealing a lot of damage to begin with. While Trish doesnt posses that many great feats, I've stated at the start that she's for sure capable of taking down a lot of lesser demons. Same with Lady. Lady (in the custcene that showed above) managed to leave a bigger mark on his body, than 5 of them combined.

Using sneak attacks doesnt mean she is weak. She couldnt open the barrier. Her attack was strong enough to bring him to the ground. She is a legit threat to him at that point. DMC1 Trish's strength is comparible to DMC1 Dante. No... she's not comparible to him at all. Sneak attack allowed her... to for sure push him to the ground and sword held him a bit longer, but once again it did literally nothing to him. He shrugged it off and took her down with few bullets. It's just like with Alastor, but alastor did more damage, while impact managed to take it down.. it really did nothing to him. I dont think that power-scalling community would agree with the statement that she's comparable to him either. Nothing indicates that. If anything, everything that happens later on, denies it.

When Trish teleports she can do so in a bolt of lightning from the sky so minor upgrade. At least it's something.

These are suppositions you have and there is no evidence that matching character and weapons elements enhances the users abilities in the way you suggest. Of course not, that was... like I've mentioned an example how they could give her new ablitlites with Alastor. While there's not a single evidence suggesting that she would get it... There's also nothing to deny it. That's just one of the ways they could go, since it doesnt contradict anything.

Using lots of bullets. None of the soldiers engaged demons in a melee fight. That doesnt change the fact that she doesnt have much feats to begin with? Sure she can take down lesser demons with guns/swords/bare-hands... but normal soldiers can do it with just guns. Nothing indicates that she can do it with bosses.

You are ignoring 2 things. About the first one... okay, it doesnt. But she for sure wasnt weaker either. And he one-shoted army of them.
 * Mundus being more powerful doesnt necessarily mean Trish is more powerful. Also, did you read the novel? How were Dante and Vergil born if Sparda lost?

I dont how the whole:"how Dante and Vergil were born if Sparda lost" adds anything to Trish feats...

Dante was a whole 6 years older in Novel 2. More power, more experience. Sure he was 6 years older and he had more power and more experience... And since he basically "One shooted" a guy on Mundus power level in DMC 2, I could agree with you that it's not a good Argument... However I forgot to mention that he was cooperating with Phantom/Griffon/Frost from that dimension... and all of them were capable of taking down a lot of alternate Trishes with ease.
